REVIEW

Decades ago I bought this book for my daughter. This year I bought it for my great-grandson. It is as beautifully produced now as it was all those years ago when I gave it to my daughter. I don't know how they make the fish's scales so pretty (iridescent!) but I'm glad they do. The product photos can't show what I mean, but trust me -- it makes the book standout from all the others.
